EPA Region 3 intends a limited-source task order modification to Native Energy & Technology, Inc. under a GSA Federal Supply Schedule, increasing the ceiling by $427,038.68 against a total estimated contract value of $8,071,205.09. The work covers replacement of boiler tubes for three boilers and controllers for two boilers at the Environmental Science Center in EPA’s Mid-Atlantic Region. The action is justified on an urgent and compelling basis because the repairs must be completed before winter to maintain a safe, heated workspace and protect EPA emergency response operations. A competitive acquisition would take at least 150 days, which the agency says would cause unacceptable delays. Market research found multiple quotes for tube replacement but only Gary Anderson HVAC was capable of providing replacement controllers, with $157,896.68 for controllers determined fair and reasonable based on historical pricing.
